FNA Fundraiser A Success

May 26, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

The Forbes Netball Association held a very successful fundraiser last Saturday, as part of the Saturday competition. Funds were raised for The Kids Cancer Project, which is the charity of Netball NSW, where netball associations across the state get together for a day of fun and dress up to support the charity. Thank you to all the parents and
volunteers who cooked and donated at the canteen, and helped in many ways to make the day such an outstanding success.

Last year, 41 netball associations across the state including the FNA raised over $46,000 for The Kids Cancer Project, and this year the target is to raise over $50,000. The final total is still to be calculated for this year.

The theme for 2016 Forbes netballers was Crazy Vinnies day, where everyone was encouraged to dress up and have fun, playing netball and raising funds for a very worthwhile charity.

Prizes were awarded to the Best Dressed Vinnies team with the winner being the 13 years team of Pineapples. The Best Dressed players prizes were awarded to Emily Gartner (13 years) and Eliza Kerr (NetSetGo). A 100 Club was also drawn on the day with winners being number 9 Rel White; number 85 Adam White; number 40 Jessica Armitage; number 78 Nikky White; and number 74 P Greenhalge.
